RFR 8207814: (proxy) upgrade the proxy class generator

[Mandy Chung]

Hi Roger,

Thanks for doing this.  Replacing ancient bytecode generators makes
it much easier to support new features like value types.

The diff of ProxyGenerator is not quite right (might be due to
the rename?) as some code are unchanged but shown as modified.

"jdk.proxy.ProxyGenerator.saveGeneratedFiles" is an existing property.
Perhaps a better name for "jdk.proxy.proxy_15" would be
"jdk.proxy.ProxyGenerator.useASM" with default true.

Perhaps renaming ProxyGenerator_15 to LegacyProxyGenerator?

The combo test is great that exercises different combinations.
It validates the interfaces that the proxy class implements and
the exception types in the methods of the proxy class.

I checked the existing test/jdk/java/lang/reflect/Proxy tests.
It looks like there is no proxy test with an invocation handler
that throws checked exceptions and also undeclared exceptions.
It'd be good if you can add that as a sanity test.
